I was just watching the local news and they reported that lighters are banned not only in checked baggage but starting Thursday (4/14/05), lighters will be banned in the cabins too. I know several of us have Relic Raider lighters and this even includes battery operated lighters, which would mean Ziplights would be banned. Just wanted to give you all a heads up. I'm flying next week, so I had better remember to not pack my Indy lighter.

If any lighter is discovered in a passenger's luggage, it will be confiscated and destroyed regardless if the lighter is empty...Cigar scissors (no pointed tips), guillotine cutters or bullet cutters are permitted in carry-on baggage or in checked baggage.
No matches are permitted in your checked baggage, and up to four books of matches are allowed in your carry-on baggage or on your person. For safety reasons, strike anywhere matches are prohibited at all times from carry-on and checked baggage.
